Monday has been good to iPad users who create their own content -- first Adobe releases Photoshop Touch for still images, and now Vimeo’s app hits version 2.0 with a universal build for native iPad support for watching, managing, downloading and sharing your videos with others.
Apple’s new BFF Vimeo, LLC has released version 2.0 of their free Vimeo app, billed as “the official all-new and super-improved” app. If you happen to be an iPad user, the release is definitely cause for celebration -- Vimeo is now a universal build with an all-new user interface just for the iPad, as well as an easier to use UI for the iPhone as well.
“We packed all the best parts of Vimeo into one simple app, and now we've made that app better than ever,” the app description notes. “Upload, edit, manage, and watch your videos right on your iPhone, and, if you need inspiration, discover great videos based on your interests through our meticulously curated and eyeball-pleasing Channels.”
The app includes an easy-to-use video editor which allows capturing video straight into the app with focus control and grid alignment, adding transitions, titles and effects and direct upload to Vimeo (naturally). Vimeo Music Store is now integrated into the video editor for even more choices when adding music and sound recordings.
If you want to enjoy Vimeo without having to sign up for yet another service, the app now allows you to shoot video, create projects and browse featured channels without logging in, but if you do, you’ll also be able to view subscriptions, likes and your Watch Later album as well as share, add comments and view licenses, credits and likes on videos created by other Vimeo users.
Vimeo 2.0 is a 21.6MB free download from the App Store, compatible with all devices running iOS 4.3 or later.
